You don’t need to be a Fire Fighter; full training will be provided. You do, however, need to be cool, calm and collected under pressure. Oh, and fit!

- Good attention to detail
- Team player
- Initiative and good problem-solving skills
- Practical and hands on
- Basic Computer literacy
- A quick learner and ability to adapt
- Did we mention calm and physically fit?
